Disciplinary provisions - Consideration of complaint by Board

147G: Board must hold hearing if investigator reports that complaint should be considered by Board

You could also call this:

“Board must have a meeting to talk about complaints about electricians if the investigator says it's important”

If someone investigates a complaint about an electrician and says the Board should look at it, the Board must have a meeting to talk about it. At this meeting, they will decide if they need to do anything about the electrician’s behaviour.

If the person investigating says the Board doesn’t need to look at the complaint, the Registrar (a person who keeps records) must tell the person who made the complaint and the electrician that nothing more will happen with the complaint.
